Kansas City Chiefs

1st Round, No. 27 overall- Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State

2nd Round, No. 59 overall- Cam Sutton, CB, Tennessee

3rd Round, No. 91 overall- Tyquan Lewis, DL, Ohio State

Ohio State’s Malik Hooker is just a redshirt Sophomore who could return to school, but he has the talent to make a quick transition to the NFL. Hooker is a rangy athlete who can cover a lot of ground in the backend of the secondary.

More from With the First Pick

He’s someone who doesn’t hesitate to support the run and makes solid tackles. Hooker also possesses excellent ball skills and is a threat to pull down interceptions. The Kansas City Chiefs could be drawn to Hooker as a replacement for Eric Berry.

Without a long-term contract, Berry played this past season on the franchise tag and could very well hit open free agency this offseason.

Kansas City could also use some help at cornerback opposite Marcus Peters. Cam Sutton is a bit undersized but plays with toughness. He’s a fluid athlete who can keep in-phase with his target. It’s possible he could be a better fit in the slot, but a team could never have enough cornerback depth.

Tyquan Lewis is a physical defender who’d give the Chiefs depth along the defensive line. He’d fit as a 5-technique in the Chiefs 3-4 attack.
